Which word in the passage also means "when one object in space is partially or completely obscured by another object in space?"Last weekend when I rummaged through my grandmother’s attic, I discovered a dusty radio. I asked my grandmother how old it was, and she informed me that she'd had it since her childhood. She said it was from a time before television eclipsed radio as the most used form of entertainment technology. She told me tales about how she and her siblings would lounge in front of the radio on Saturday mornings and listen to the elaborate storytellers. She missed those moments with her family because times were much simpler then. Now, she feels like we are all just pawns in the advancement of technology, and we don’t spend enough time enjoying life.

Which written work is often read as a disguised criticism of England’s imperialist activities?

Answers

The correct answer is The Tempest.
The Tempest is a play written by William Shakespeare in 16th century England. Although it may not seem as a criticism of England and its politics of imperialism, if you really think about it, it actually is. It tells the story of Prospero who visits an island, takes control over it, and imposes his own culture and politics over its people, which is exactly what England did to other countries.

Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective." Diane stood in front of a mirror and stuck out her tongue. It looked like a rosy pink welcome mat to her delicate insides. Her usual rubber mold formula was out of the question—too toxic. She wondered, What is safe to swallow, fast and easy to apply, and hardens quickly into a firm mold? One of her horse-riding pals, a veterinarian named Mary Wright, had the answer: alginate. Mary told Diane that alginate was a pink gummy material used to make molds of teeth. If it was safe for pets, it should be safe for a tiger. And people, too, Diane thought. At her lab she mixed the alginate powder with water to form a paste. Standing in front of a mirror, she scooped up a blob and spread it on her tongue. She pressed it down with her fingers to get out any air bubbles. Not bad, she thought. Tastes just like spearmint. She decided to make an extra-thick mold to make it easier to peel off. So, she added another gloopy blog—and another. With her thickened tongue hanging out, Diane padded around the lab doing odds and ends while the material set. After about 10 minutes, she peeled off the alginate slowly and carefully. It was fragile—bendable and easy to tear—but it made an excellent impression of her tongue. Which action in the excerpt illustrates that Diane is dedicated to her work? A.She makes a mold of her own tongue. B.She performs odd jobs around the lab. C.She stands in front of the mirror. D.She goes horseback riding with a friend.
